We specialize in treating eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, orthorexia, OSFED, disordered eating and concurrent disorders. Our clients value our unique, personalized, and evidence-based treatment approach.
Not everyone’s experience with disordered eating fits a diagnosis, and you don’t require a diagnosis to participate in our programs. If your experiences with food preoccupation or a self critical body image are negatively impacting your quality of life, the support at Westwind is for you.
